GTK still has extreme padding and wasted screen real estate around texts, images, lists and other component. Making a slim version and better designed UIs would probably make a lot of difference.
- i80and 7y agoThat's due to the GNOME HIG, which I agree is ugly. But GTK+ itself will render whatever padding you ask for.
- Polyisoprene 7y agoIt existed before Gnome and I’ve not yet seen any GTK interface that doesn’t seem like a slightly better looking Motif UI.
- vetinari 7y agoOn you typical laptop 14" FHD display, exactly this padding and sizing looks great (at @1x), while at 14" 1600x900 it still looks very good. Sure, on 1376x768 it looks terrible.
